About this map

The Wisconsin River dominates this landscape as it flows between Port Andrew and the village of Blue River. In this part of the Driftless Area, the topography is defined by prominent ridges and deep hollows, including Strawberry Ridge, Oak Ridge, and Studenberg Hollow. The map provides significant genealogical value through its documentation of numerous burial grounds such as Greenwood Cemetery, Sand Prairie Cemetery, and Beulah Cemetery.

Agricultural heritage is evident in the naming of specific properties like the Tisdale Homestead, Byrds Creek Stock Farm, and Pine Grove Stock and Dairy Farm. Along the river's path, distinctive landforms like Steamboat Island and Coumbe Island split the current, while the smaller Blue River and Fennimore Fork wind through the southern hills. This 2010 survey reflects a rural Wisconsin landscape where family-named farms and historic crossing points remain central to the geography.
